This study analyzes AUC values for hypotension exposure using MAP <65 mmHg over 0-6 hours. Identical methodology was followed as in Supplemental Figure 1, defining exposure groups based on MAP levels. The cumulative AUC value for each subject reflects the depth and duration of hypotension.

The distribution of area under the curve (AUC) values for hypotension exposure over 0-6 hours. We used an identical methodology as described in Supplemental Figure 1 (see Supplemental Digital Cotent 1, http://links.lww.com/CCM/A104) above, except that we defined the exposure groups (Hypotension versus No Hypotension) based on the 0-6 hour AUC for mean arterial pressure (MAP) <65 mm Hg measured every 15 mins. Therefore, the units on the AUC is mm Hg • 15 mins/6 hrs. This technique yields a cumulative AUC value for each subject that reflects both the depth and duration of a MAP <65 mm Hg over 0-6 hrs. The gray bar represents the median value for AUC. An AUC value above the gray bar defined the Hypotension group, and below the gray bar defined the No Hypotension group.
